Palin Picks Another Fight

Alaska's pugnacious governor is at it, again. Having battled late night comedian David Letterman for the better part of the month, Sarah Palin is turning her attention now to an amateur blogger in Alaska. Linda Kellen Biegel, who blogs under the name Celtic Diva, photoshopped an image of local conservative radio host Eddie Burke onto a photo of Palin cradling son Trig, allegedly suggesting an overly close relationship between the governor and at least one member of the press. A Palin spokesperson told CNN that "the mere idea of someone doctoring the photo of a special needs baby is appalling." The issue, she explained, requires immediate attention from the president: "It is past time to restore decency in politics and real tolerance for all Americans. The Obama administration sets the moral compass for its party." Biegel defended herself email: "WE'RE MAKING FUN OF EDDIE BURKE!!!!!!," not baby Trig.
